Authorization errors #
One of the first steps in setting up the BigBuy WooCommerce plugin, is authorizing your BigBuy account with WooCommerce. However, during this process you can experience errors. We have stated them below including the solution.
| Code | Error message | Screenshot | Cause | Solution |
| Shop is not registered | Screenshot | 1) The permalinks are set on Plain
2) There is no valid SSL certificate problem installed. You might see an error like: cURL Error: SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate. 3) The logs show: Response body has invalid JSON. |
1) Go in your WordPress dashboard to Settings > Permalinks and configure your permalinks to anything but Plain. Try again to authorize.
2) Activate and install a SSL certificate via your hosting provider and try again. 3) This can have 2 different solutions. It is either related to the permalinks setting also or access to the WooCommerce REST API is blocked by a firewall, server or hosting provider. |
